The report indicates that the number of international students in the US higher education institutions increased by 3 percent to 690,923 during the 2009/10 academic year. This represents a record high number of international students in the US. The growth is attributed primarily to 30 percent increase in Chinese student enrollment in the US to nearly 128,000.
